Ghostbusters #2

In an era before the digital wizardry of computer graphics, the creation of the famous Marshmallow Man and his stomping ground was a delightful game of miniatures. The road beneath his monstrous feet was a tiny artist’s masterpiece, with cars so small they could’ve been pinched from a child’s matchbox set. This film and its sequel are a testament to the charm and ingenuity of pre-CGI cinema.

Harnessing the zenith of cinematic technology and techniques of its era, the film masterfully choreographs a spectacle of destruction. The screen bursts with gooey marshmallow fluff wreaking havoc across the cityscape. Astoundingly, the use of miniatures is so seamlessly executed it’s virtually undetectable. Even decades later, audiences still relish in the delightful chaos, captivated by the blend of craftsmanship and creativity that makes the impossible possible.
